There will be petting farms, games with prizes and snacks.
Students of the Agriculture Technician Program at College of the North Atlantic - Corner Brook campus will be showing off their displays at an event tomorrow. As part of Canada’s Agriculture Day, it takes place from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Sharon Wright is the Program Instructor and says it’s a day to celebrate food that is produced in the country and the people who produce it. The slogan is “Forks up for Canadian Agriculture.” Wright says the Ag-awareness piece is built into the program, and second year students have created information displays using their own topics which they will be graded on.
There will be petting farms, games with prizes and snacks. Students from Pasadena Academy, Templeton and Corner Brook Intermediate will also be attending and the public is welcome as well. Wright says one of the courses these second year students are doing is agriculture sales and marketing, dealing with agricultural awareness and how important it is to the industry.
The Federation of Agriculture is bringing some short activities aimed at junior high and high school students. As part of tomorrow’s snack, local milk will be provided under the School Milk Program.
